Page 3: Product Introduction
Entry-level Camera for Deep Space Photography The ASI533MM Pro utilizes the SONY back-illuminated IMX533CLK-D sensor and the ASI533MC Pro utilizes the SONY back-illuminated IMX533CQK-C sensor. With a 1-inch square format, it is particularly suitable for astrophotography needs. The ASI533 series can be regarded as an upgrade of the ASI183 series. - Page 4 One-inch Square Frame The IMX533 is a one-inch square frame CMOS image sensor with approximately 9M effective pixels at a pixel size of 3.76um. In ADC 14bit mode it can output 20 fps resolution with read noise as low as 1.0e, which is comparable to SCMOS or EMCCD sensors for users requiring high resolution and low noise.
